Player Profile: marcogama

This month, we have a very special player player in your spotlight: The president of the Italian Federation of Mah-Jong, Foschi Marco (username: marcogama). Forschi is a very big part of the global Mahjong community; his hard work has brought many Italian Mahjong lovers (along with other European players) together for tournaments, events, and great, competitive fun! He currently holds multiple brown belts at Mahjong Time (Brown Belt two black stripes in MCR and Brown Belt on black stripe in TW), and ranks 13th in the overall MCR Mahjong Time rankings! Mahjong Time got the chance to ask Forschi a few questions:
